Expert Physics & Chemistry Quiz: Schrödinger, Pauli, Quantum Levels
Expert physics and chemistry quiz: fermions and quantum states, Schrödinger's equation, mass conservation, electron energy levels and photon energy.
Atoms, forces, energy
The Physics & Chemistry theme is about matter and what makes it move or change. It covers the atom and its particles, the periodic table, chemical reactions, acids and bases, as well as forces, motion, heat, electricity, light and the different forms of energy, with names such as Newton, Mendeleev, Faraday and Marie Curie.
You will find classroom notions and their everyday applications: why ice floats, how a battery works, what a joule or a newton measures. Physics & Chemistry rounds are free, quick to play, and you pick from five levels, from very easy to expert; an explanation follows every answer.

The first is inertia: a body keeps moving in a straight line at constant speed, or stays at rest, unless a net force acts on it. The second links force to acceleration (F = m × a). The third is action and reaction: when one body pushes on another, it feels an equal and opposite force.
Devised by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, it arranges the chemical elements by increasing atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. Columns group elements with similar chemical properties, such as the alkali metals or the noble gases, and the rows are called periods.
pH indicates how acidic or basic a water-based solution is, on a usual scale from 0 to 14. At 25 °C, a value of 7 is neutral, like pure water, below 7 is acidic, like lemon juice, and above 7 is basic, like bleach.
